About Joseph Horowitz
Joseph Horowitz is an esteemed scholar, a seasoned music producer and orchestra administrator, and a former classical music critic for the New York Times. His eleven books mainly explore classical music in America—from Toscanini’s rise in the states to Dvořák’s prophecy that Black music would be foundational in the development of American classical music. The Propaganda of Freedom: JFK, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and the Cultural Cold Warrior is forthcoming. The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York is his first novel.
Praise for The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York
“This is a book for people who love Mahler and long to know him intimately (and there are millions) — a truer, more human Mahler than we have ever before encountered. Alma is also fabulously drawn, with all her love and antipathy towards her husband. And The Marriage also opens a new and amazing window on Mahler’s music.” —JoAnn Falletta Music Director, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra
